[Beowulf] Companies contributing to the Linux kernel

[Peter St. John]

Greg,
I'd just want to point out there is a difference between "Linux" and

That said, thanks so much for your substantial contributions to ongoing
kernel development; that's important :-) and gratz on beating out Novell and
Intel.
Peter
